Cycling Thread

I am a cycling journalist and travel writer who spends most of the year exploring long-distance routes across Europe. I run the website Cycling Thread, where I share stories, photos and practical tips from journeys along rivers, through mountains and around lakes. My goal is to inspire others to discover Europe by bike and to show how cycling tourism can be both enjoyable and sustainable.

Over the years I have ridden many of the continent's most famous routes, from the Loire and the Elbe to the Carinthian Lake Loop and the Baltic coast. I enjoy combining cycling with train travel, making it easier to reach new places without a car. On Komoot I share my routes so other cyclists can find ideas for their own adventures.

En av de største styrkene til Mosel-sykkelveien er kvaliteten på sykkelinfrastrukturen. Mesteparten av turen følger jevne, adskilte sykkelstier langs elven, med svært lite samhandling med motortrafikk og nesten ingen krevende stigninger. Hyppige broer, sporadiske ferger og utmerkede togforbindelser gj
